Countermeasures to Improve the Driving Performance of Older Drivers.
Ashman, Richard D.; And Others
Educational Gerontology, v20 n6 p567-77 Sep 1994
In a 2-year project, 105 older drivers were given physical therapy (flexibility exercises), perceptual therapy (to improve visual discrimination), and driver education; traffic engineering modifications were also made. All four interventions improved performance an average of 7.9%. Engineering was most cost effective on high-volume roads, the others on low-volume roads. (SK)
